Apparel FAQs
Does my dog need a coat?
Small, short-haired, slim and senior dogs often feel the cold quickly and benefit from a coat or sweater in winter. The ASPCA suggests a coat or sweater for short-haired dogs, ideally with a high collar and coverage from the base of the tail to the belly.
How do I measure my pet?
Use a soft tape measure around the widest part of the chest just behind the front legs, around the base of the neck, and along the back from the neck to the base of the tail. Compare all three with each listing's size chart, and size up if your pet is between sizes.
Will my cat wear clothes?
Some cats tolerate light, soft clothing, especially hairless breeds or cats recovering from surgery, while others dislike it. Introduce clothing slowly with treats, keep sessions short and remove anything that causes stress.
Are costumes safe?
Costumes are fine for short, supervised periods. Make sure your pet can see, hear, breathe and move freely, remove small decorations they could chew, and take the costume off if they seem anxious or too warm.
Do dog boots stay on?
Boots stay on best when they fit snugly and have adjustable straps around the ankle. Let your dog practise walking in them indoors with treats before heading out, and check paws after walks for rubbing.
Can pets wear clothes all day?
It's best to remove coats and sweaters indoors so pets don't overheat, and to check regularly for rubbing under the legs and around the neck. Light shirts can be worn longer if your pet is comfortable.
How do I wash pet clothes?
Brush off loose fur, then wash on a gentle cycle in cool water with a mild detergent. Air dry to prevent shrinking, and wash raincoats by hand to protect waterproof coatings.
Do raincoats work with harnesses?
Many raincoats and jackets have a harness opening on the back so you can clip a leash through. Check each listing for this feature, or choose a coat designed to be worn over a harness.
Should my dog wear a swim vest?
A swim vest adds buoyancy and visibility for boating, lake days and dogs who are new to swimming. Choose the right size, check the handle and straps, and always supervise your dog in water.
What apparel suits hot weather?
Light cotton T-shirts, sun-protective vests and evaporative cooling bandanas help in summer. Never leave pets in hot cars, and keep walks short during the hottest part of the day.
How long does shipping take?
Most orders arrive within 6 to 32 business days of being placed. That covers 1 to 2 business days of handling and 5 to 30 business days in transit. Standard shipping is free on every order, and we currently ship to US addresses only.
Can I return pet apparel?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery, if the item is new, unused and in its original packaging. Email support@globalswanky.com with your order number, the product name and the reason for the return, then wait for return instructions. There's no restocking fee.
Find the Right Apparel
Choosing apparel for your pet comes down to three checks: the right size, the right fabric for the season, and comfort your pet will accept. A waterproof raincoat and a fleece sweater cover most of the year.
